Jadzia smiled to herself. She could see why Sisko was grinning. She had no problem with children (after all she had been a mother or father five times). However she had a feeling that this news would not go down so well with some other members of the crew.
She looked around the room. Quark had already refused and Garak and Kira were objecting. Kira was comfortable with children but didn't see herself as a good teacher. Odo looked uncomfortable. He was not very used to children. O'Brien was remembering his last attempt at teaching. Though it ended up alright he preferred to stick to the day job.
Julian was smiling in his seat beside her. He seemed to be looking forward to the challenge and as a doctor, he was used to children. In fact Jadzia feared more for the children than the doctor, as he was likely to talk their ears off. Ben liked kids and it was an excuse for him to spend more time with Jake. He called the room to order.
"I'm afraid this is non-negotiable. Quark and Garak, that means you too, remember who lets you keep your establishments. These children are part of our crew and we have a duty to help them. Besides it'll be fun!"
Sisko noticed he was getting a few sceptical looks so he quickly continued.
"You will be teaching on your own or in a pair depending on what works best. Keiko supplied me with a list of subjects. We will divide them up depending on what you're good at and what you like. "
